Siena Rose is 2 years old!

Our little firecracker is 2 years old already!  She is a bright light in our family and we love her so much.  She has a very BIG personality and we call her the Alpha.  She loves to sing and dance and puts on a show when there are people around.  She gives everyone big toothy grins and she loves to hug.  She loves Monty and her brother and is a major Daddy's girl.  She talks up a storm, using full sentences saying things like "I want my own goldfish bag" or "No Monty, My food!'.  I love when she yells "Hi Mommy" in her high pitched voice.  Every morning when Daddy goes to work she says "Daddy walk" which means she wants to walk him to his car.  Then she says "Hi five!" which means Daddy needs to drive out with his window down and give her a high five while Mommy holds her up to meet his hand. She's a stellar athlete already and loves to play soccer and throw the ball around and she' incredibly fast.    She loves Elmo, princesses and monkeys.  She insists on only wearing clothes that have any of these characters on them.  She also loves shoes and painting her nails.

We love her deeply and couldn't imagine life without her in it.  She is so sweet and fun.  Happy Birthday little Siena Rosey!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day 2014!

We had a great St. Patty's Day.  I made Corned Beef and Cabbage and we got a cake.  We wore silly hats and talked about rainbows and leprechauns.  When Daddy got home from work Braydon hit behind the table and jumped out yelling "Surprise!  Happy St. Patricks Day!"

Bray & Dad on a dirt bike

We went over to the Purcell's for a BBQ and they have a Dirt Bike track.  Braydon loved riding around with Daddy.

Surfer Daddy

Spring is here and in San Diego that means lots of beach time to watch Daddy surf!!  Siena loves to try and find Daddy in the water and will point and yell "Uh Oh, Daddy fell down in water!"  and when we walk close to the water says "Oh no!   Water Get Me!"

Lake Tahoe 2014

We spent a long weekend in Tahoe with a great group of friends and family.  The Morrisons with 18 month old Maverick and Liliana (age 5), The Rossittos with Bray's girlfriend Sophia (age 4), The Purcells with adorable little Morgan (age 3), Aunt Cristin and Aba Da (Uncle Cota).  And of course the Greene family came down for the weekend from Reno.  All the kids spent a day in snowboarding and ski school on Friday at Northstar and that was a blast!  Braydon snowboarded and LOVED it.  When school was done Daddy took him on a bunch of actual runs on the chairlift to teach him.  He did great!  

It was SnowFest in King's Beach so we got to watch the town parade.  The kids had so much fun!  Siena especially, she's a parade groupie, waving and clapping for everyone that walked by.  After we had lunch at Garwoods and skipped rocks on the beach.  Then we went sledding!  An action packed day!  Sunday we had lunch at the Bridgetender with the Greene's and then made pizzas at their house with the Purcells until we had to fly out.  It was the perfect weekend!

Braydon started Tball

Our little slugger started Tball with all his friends.  He loves it!  And Siena loves to watch.

Volcano Science Project

We made a volcano and added vinegar and soap and watched it explode!  So cool!!

Father/Son Kings Hockey Game

Craig and Bray went to the Hockey game with Bray's Godfather Chris and favorite buddy Connor!  They had a great time!  Braydon loves time with his Dad and friend ConMan.

Baltimore Trip

Braydon and I flew out to Baltimore to surprise Aunt Wee and cousin Dylan with Aunt Kimmie and cousin Mishy to throw baby Colton a shower.  It was a LONG journey out since there were huge winter storms and they cancelled all the flights out to Baltimore.  But we weren't going to let a storm get in our way of visiting the Steeles!  We found an alternate route through Phoenix and then an overnight in Nashville with Aunt Kimmie and then a flight out to Baltimore in the morning.  After a 30 hour journey with my buddy Braydon, lots of lego building and movies (lost luggage too!), we arrived at the Farm in Baltimore.  We had the best time playing in the snow and hanging out on the beautiful snow covered farm!

Braydon ran out and yelled SURPRISE!  And Wee Wee and Dylan were so happy!

The Farm is soooo pretty in the Winter!

The kids love playing in the snow.

We bought Amish butter at this special Amish grocery store.

And threw a great shower for Baby Colton!

When we got home, Siena grabbed the Amish butter from the suitcase and took a big bite!  My girl loves her butter!
